THE OMATIA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. JULY 31, IMS. STRENGTH FROM TOE HILLS Ber. Howard MacAyeal Drtwi Inspiration frm Kioetj-Fotrth Ftalm. CHARACTER MUST BE SOLIDLY BASED Chaplain silver Prfneha Trinity Cathedral the lKBlflrac ol Fir. la the Hlator? of Christian!!?. Cain aa hla them the fourth vera of fh. xclr riwlm which says, "In his handa ara the big- places of the . earth and the strength of the hills la hla also," Rev. Howard MacAyeal preached a forceful ser mon from the pulpit of St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church 8unday morning. Rev. Mr. MacAyeal was asked by the church to fill the pulpit for the Sunday, one of the leading preachera being called each Sunday with a view of finding a suc cessor to Rev. Robt. Tost. "Kllla have been symbolical with atrong character for all time, even from the time Df the earliest writings. In India today there Is a never-ending procession to the hills, for people cannot live long and retain their vitality In the lowlands. It affects the spirit as well as the physique. Hills stimulate the best that there Is In a man and bring out hla Independence. Hills and the temperate tone are similar. "Unquenchable In spirit, It Is no wonder that the people of New EnRland have auch a reputation for atrengtb of character when one consider the nature of the hill from which they come. Americans are all from the hill country. The world of the Bible has always been a world of hills. The ark rested on a hill; Abraham gave the law of sacrifice when he built the altar on a mountain; the lord gave the great civil codo 'from a mountain; Moses saw the land of promise from the hills; on Nebo's lonely mountain was Moses laid; Jesus was tempted on a mountain; the Savior preached Hla great sermon from a mountain; on a mountain the transfiguration of the Savior was visible to the multitude. "There Is an element of stability about mountains not found elsewhere. Beneath these mammoth structures are solid founda tions, and It Is Just so with character. It stands upon the foundation of still another mountain mountain upon mountain and rock upon rock. "Men say that the cross and sacrifices are disappearing today, but this Is non sense. The thought of love and human sympathy la Increasing.' FIRE OME OF iUU' IVMBOI.S Chaplin Sllrer Dwells Its Slgnlfl caate In Bible History. Chaplain H. Percy Silver of the Thir teenth United Statea Infantry. Fort Crook, occupied the pulpit at Trinity cathedral Sunday morning, preaching from the text. Exodus 111:2: "And the angel of the Ixird appeared unto him In a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush was not consumed." Chaplain Silver said In part: "Moses, to whom this verse of scr'pture pertains, had within him the fear and faith of Ood. He refused to be called tho son of Pharoah'a daughter, but chose sooner to suffer for the sins and afflictions of men. God led him back from worldly ambitions to become the leader of the lowly and downtrodden Israelites, oppressed of the Egyptians. It was he who led them out Of the land of darkness Into the land of light. "In every human heart there Is a long ing for light. The light of Ood descended Into that Utile bramble bush at the side of the hill of Horcb, and made of that hum ble shepherd the leader of' men. God uses small means to accomplish great ends. Fire a the symbol of God's preaenct, of CInA'm vatnirAanca of mnrcv. trials and I S Hilt HUH. &k ! IIJO dWUlCIU VI ClUljr U host Man la made pure and atrong by the fire power of God's sacred fire. "The Hebrews believed that the fire of God's love would never go out. It' Is the symbol of Japanese Shlntolsm and of Zoroaaterlsm. God uses fire not merely as the symbol of hell, but of heaven. The fire of hell burna with bltternesa and la the vengeance of God. In heaven It la the symbol of brightness. Paul said 'Heap coals of fire upon thine enemy's head, not to burn, but to win and warm them.' Every law that God has made Is for our good. Things rightly used uplift us, (but wrongly used they overwhelm and destroy us. . Ws suffer physical pain when we violate the law of God. Fire burna out the evil and operatea aa a healing and preserving salt. The soul of man burns with God'a love, not to destroy, but to uplift with brightness. So let our light shine before all men, illumined with the love of God and for Hla glory. Let Hia love then to burn In our hearts that we may be warmed by His eternal grace and ever live In the way of righteousness." WAITING OX UOD GIVES STRENGTH Rev. Dr. Hare Preaches to Old Con arreBatlon. Rev. 8. M. Ware, D. D., of Spokane, preached Sunday morning and evening at the Second Presbyterian church. Mr. Ware was formerly pastor of this church and be fore the morning sermon he gave feeling expression to his pleasure at being again able to greet so many of hla old friends and co-workers. In hla morning sermon he took for hla text Isaiah xl:39: "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wlnga aa eaglsa; they ahall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint." He said In parti "Waiting on God la the most prominent thought In thla text, and we find that the fruitage of thla waiting Is a renewal of strength. There la need in our every-day life for an elevation in the tone of our spirituality. In our ideals, our thoughta and our affections. We ahould never be content with low, carnal ldeala. There la need alao for progress, to ri'n In the ser vice of the Lrtrd. We must not fear to un dertake great things for Gud because of the thought that we may full. Trusting In Him we need have no feu r. "Waiting on the Lord dors not mean Idle ness. It mcana movement, a mounting up and a going forward. Wc must be ready to go immediately and obediently to execute the Master's commands. We must go In love. In confidence. In expectation, in de pendence, in patience, and we can afford to wait Ood'a own time for the fruitage of our effort. "Christiana today are Inclined to be con tent with too low a tone spiritually. We are guilty of being satisfied shprt of the highest things God haa set before ua. We ahould desire to know more of God'a high purposes, to drink deeper of His grace, to get a larger horiaon of spirituality. We must grow In grace against the day of sor row and trouble. We must have the grace to live and the grace to die, and the Lord will suit Hla help to our needa If we but approach Hla work In a proper aplrit of confidence and trust."

RATIO IS Rtnltn FOR A FALL Vleea of Titles I'ndermtnlna- Clvle Tlrtn, Saya Rev. Dr. Crafts. Dr. Wilbur F. Crafts, superintendent of the International Reform Bureau at Wash ington, recited his lecture about "Living and Dying Nations," with an appendix regarding the work of the organisation at Hanscom rark Methodist church Sunday morning. He flayed the quality of art In Sunday newspapers and said that a man with an axe could make better pictures. Great fault was found with the rearing of children by American parents. He said their carelessness In allowing the young of opposite sex to "run together like a lot of cattle" la astounding and amaxlng, and that he would prefer to see In force here the oriental method of herding girls and women In harems than- the lax cus toms which prevail. Impurity, Intemperance ail Sabbath breaking he considered the principal causes for the decay of nations. Regarding the things secured by the Re form Bureau In Nebraska, Dr. Craft's mentioned Governor Mickey's order for bidding the National Guard to participate In Sunday sham battles, tend the act of the mayor of Falls City In driving a "Jesse James" show out of town, prohibiting Sun day base ball and suppressing gambling. Much praise was accorded to President Roosevelt as a reformer, though the speaker mentioned that he thought the president Is a man somewhat too much addicted to standing by his friends. Dr. Crafts said In part: "The Sabbath keeping nations of today are literally riding on the high places of the earth. They are enjoying the golden mean of liberty under the law. China, Turkey, France and Spain can be held up as Illustrations of nations that are dying. Great Britain and the United Statea of those that are living" "Our Invaders are the1 brutalized wen filling our streets, made more and more brutal by the lax observance of Sabbath laws. We .nust destroy the corrupting Influences of cities or the nation will be destroyed. Babylonian vices mean a Babylonian fall. "France has the worst record In Im purity, Sabbath breaking and Intemperance. You never heard of a nation flying from free silver or free trade, but many have died from free love. It Is the enemies that Folk and Weaver are fighting we need to arm against. Impurity Is the cancer that affects us, and surgery of Missouri and Philadelphia is needed as nothing elae." PREACHED IX OLD CHURCH HOME Her. Clarence J. Williamson Looks at Men ThroaR-tt Microscope. Rev. Clarence J. Williamson of Pittsburg, Pa., preached Sunday morning at the Cen tral United Presbyterian church, the place where he attended services when a boy. Mr. Williamson, upon graduating from the Omaha High school about ten years ago, left Omaha for an eastern college. After obtaining his degree he taught three years in Asslout, Egypt, and came back to his native country to take a course In the Alleghany Theological seminary. He finished hla studies in that school last spring and Is now assistant at the Sixth United Pres byterian church In Plttsourg. 'What is Man?" was the subject of the speaker's discourse. He regarded the hu man family first through a miuroscope and then through a telescope, hunting for faults In one Instance and for greatness In the other. "Examining man as through a micro scope, his insignificance is prominent' he aald. "The truth la felt of 'dust thou art and unto duat ahalt thou return.' In the language of Pascale In his broodlngs, 'Is not a man a little thing?' Read the dally press and you note the chronicles of his littleness, his wickedness, hla depravity and the Immoralities of aoclety. At the height of thought the bram snaps and he becomes a gibbering Idiot. He builda and knowa not who will reap the beneflta of his labor, for fires and storms destroy what he has made. His strength, breaks down In Impotence. The "paths of glory lead but to the grave.' The old earth la wrinkled over with human graves. Verily all la vanity and vexation of spirit. ' "But look at man through the telescope. His higher Impulses, his brilliance, his resource, his power to subject nature to his will, are revealed. Now you begin to understand how It was that In the be ginning man waa tempted to consider him self a God. Two things prove man great, sin and salvation from sin. The very faot that man can sin shows that he la great, and his fall Is great because he has fallrn from a high place. The wonder of salva tion reveals the true greatness of man. He who knows all secrets of darkness saw a gleaming Jewel in the fallen spirit of man and sent His only begotten Son to snatch the Jewel from the mire. How great must man be to be redeemed at such a cost. Man alone Is a failure; united with Christ, he la great." Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Reined The Best fa Ealatenee. T. M. Woid, manager of the Whits County News, Bee be, Ark., Is a representa tive southern business man, who does not hesitate in expressing his good opinion of a well krown remedy. He says: "It gives me pleaaure to recommend Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, hav ing used It myself and In my family with the best results. In fact I believe It to be the best remedy of the kind In existence," Homeaeekers Esenraloas.

As the launchea paraded In a circle a very pretty exhibition of fireworks was given from the top of each. At th Casino G. L. HefTner, the baritone singer, And the motion pictures were attended by at many as could gain admission. Prof. Andrews, the aeronaut, made a success of his effort to make an -unusually high ascension. It was pretty unanimously agreed Andrews attained about the greatest height he haa ever reached at Manawa. A high dive In the afternoon and a fire dive in the even ing by "Dare Devil" Fackler contributed to the list of thrillers. Two concerts by Covalt's band were well received. The base ball game between the Neumayers and the Coronas was won by the former by a score of 4 to 1. The weather being ideal for bathing and boating, both these distinctively summer pastimes were largely patronised, while each of the other pas times did a thriving business.

It was the third of the cerles of "lay sermons" which are being conducted by the brotherhood of the church' and which have been largely attended. Mr. Rothery's talk was. to the effect that "opportunities are not to be gained by waiting," and that the only way for one to become successful waa by dint of hard, faithful work. Mr. Rothery cited a number of Incidents where men have risen to prominence from obscurity by their own efforts and hard, conscientious work, which, he said. Is the one way to become successful.

WHEREABOUTS OF HIS CREW UNKNOWN t'nlon Paclfle Announces that It Pro poses to Pat In Xlnta Street Switch t'nder the City Ordlnancea. No further move was made by the Bur lington railroad after the Issuance of the Injunction by Judge Munger Saturday nlaht about midnight restraining It from laying tracks on Ninth street. A large crew of men va gathered at Lincoln by Superin tendent Blgnell of the Burlington, an.l brought to Omaha shortly before midnight Saturday night for the supposed Intention of laying tracks on Ninth street, which privilege was" last week granted to the Union Pacific by the city council. This action of the council has been hang ing fire for some time, but the ordinance was passed at the regular session Tuesday night and signed by the mayor. The North western and Burlington were opposed to the Union Pacific having thla concession at first, but the Northwestern finally with drew Its objections and stood aside. The i Burlington, however, did not fall Into lln. but secretly opposed the scheme. It ap parently did not propose to make an open fight. The first move waa to line up St. Phllo mena pariah authorities against the under taking of the Union Pacific, but the argu ments of the church were easily knocked In the head when once the arguments for the switch were presented. In the first place the cathedral will not be used as such very much longer, for a new building is being constructed at Fortieth and Burt and the construction of this track will make the church property that much more valuable. BlaTnell Obeyed Court Order. The crew of men from Lincoln arrived In Omaha to find that Judge Munger had granted a temporary order, on application of the Union Pacific restraining them from pursuing the work, so Superintendent Blg nell withdrew. It could not be learned on Sunday where they had been taken, but It was thought in some quarters that they would be brought back and put to work In violation of the order. Thla waa not done, however, and everything remalna as It was at midnight Saturday night. The Burlington officials claimed that they had no Intention of putting In tracks on Ninth street, but Intended to lay tracks under an old ordinance which gave them permission to occupy the alley between Farnam and Harney west to Twelfth street. Propoara to Puah Work. "Orders have been given out to proceed with preparations for the work with all possible haste," was the statement made at Union Pacific headquarters yesterday re garding the laying of the tracks by that road. "Work will begin this week, then?" was asked. "Oh, yes, the first of the week; Just as soon, In fact, as It will be possible. We do not Intend that a moment's time will be wasted. We secured the right honorably and fairly from the city council and now we propose to give to the city the ad vantage which these tracks will afford. We Invited the Burlington, as well as the Northwestern, at the outset, before we sub mitted the matter to the council, to Join us In this deal, and they refused, and the Burlington went as far as It could to fight the ordinance. It certainly cornea In poor grace, now for that road to take unfair means of us." Car a Placed Acroas Street. At 1 o'clock this morning an attempt was made by the Burlington road to stop what was supposed to be an attempt by the Union Pacific company to build a track along Ninth atreet from Jones to Capital avenue, the right of which was given them by the city council at last Tuesday night's session. . The Burlington officials evidently thought the Union Paclflo would try to atart the construction in the hours of the early morning, and In order to head them off placed cars across their tracks in the alleys between Farnam and Harney streets and between Harney and Howard streets and on Jackson. The cars were brought to the alleys by the switching crew and left there, blocking the crossing on either side of the street, leaving only enough space for teams to pass In the middle of the street. The police officials were notified of the blockade and a squad of patrolmen made the Bur lington company remove the cara. Four switchmen of the Burlington were placed under arrest and when they told that they were acting under orders from the com pany were released. Yardmaster Robinson of the Burlington was on hand and directed the proceedings. BENEFIT FOR WISE MEMORIAL Tueaday'a Program at Kruax Park Will Be la Interest of the Hospital. Manager W. W.
